WNYC is exploring New York City's affordability crisis one neighborhood at a time, starting with Mott Haven in the South Bronx. 

The controversial development tested a key piece of Mayor de Blasio's affordable housing plan. 

When talking about expensive rents, the focus is usually on residents. But mom-and-pop shops are also feeling the squeeze, without as many tools to help them stay put. Until now. 

Mayor de Blasio says it's been the best year for affordable housing in the city since Ed Koch back in 1989.

A new pilot project seeks to prevent distressed properties from being sold to the highest bidders and let residents facing foreclosures stay in their homes.

The Guidelines Board voted not to allow rent increases on one-year leases, and allow 2 percent increases on two-year leases. 

State lawmakers ended the legislation session without taking action on many affordable housing proposals. The de Blasio Administration says that's not getting in the way of its plans.

A collaboration between the Frick Collection and The Cinema School high school brings fresh meaning to the art, and cultivates a new audience for the museum. 

After last year's rent freeze, tenants want a rollback. But landlords say they're having trouble maintaining properties without an increase. 

Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined mourners at iconic gay civil rights site in Manhattan on Monday night.

Mourners wiped away tears as they lay flowers at a makeshift memorial outside Stonewall's entrance, and inscribed victims names in chalk at the park across the street. 

Stonewall Inn in New York City, known as the birth place of the U.S. gay rights movement, held a vigil Monday night for the victims of the nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla.

Since news of the killings in Orlando, people have been gathering at Manhattan's Stonewall Inn. Stonewall is known as the birthplace of the nation's gay rights movement. On Monday night, it will host a formal vigil to remember those who died in Florida.

New York City has subsidized apartments for artists, if you’re one of the lucky ones. 

Mayor de Blasio says there's no credible threat to the city at this point, but police will be out in force. 

WNYC's Jessica Gould has reaction to the Orlando shooting from the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City.

The city wants to rezone and revitalize the area around Jerome Avenue in the Bronx. Many workers worry they won't be around to see the improvements.

City Hall says the project will generate crucial funds for the park and add affordable housing. But some neighbors object to lost views and parkland. 

Tenants want more enforcement, but officials say loopholes in the state's rent stabilization laws must change. 

Fifteen of the New York City's 55 neighborhoods have experienced gentrification over the past two decades, according to an NYU report.
